I'd like to try an alternative (hue) to the current matchmaking system algorithm

currently it seems to be:

1- play 10 games and get some skewed as crap placement 2a- if you got a good score while the curve is in your favor you get to maybe enjoy life trying to get out of gold 2b- welcome to elo hell or equivalent 3- proceed to swear you belong in challenjour while the game repeatedly rigs itself against you more or less anytime you begin to win too much.

Here's my proposition

1- queue up for games and play with gold/plat/diamond V players repeatedly until you get 5 wins or 10 losses. 2a- once you've won 5 games determine how many tries it took and place players in a predictable manner. 2b- once you've lost 10 games you are now locked out of ranked until you win a certain number of normals matches or a specific amount of days. 2b-part 2- after the first try it becomes 5 wins and 5 losses instead of 5 and 10. You may only get matched with silver V players and gold V players this time. 2c- if you win 5 then proceed to lose so many games in a row you again get locked out of ranked and demoted anyways as though you'd lost your promotionals.. you are then placed back in placements 3 - proceed to swear you belong in challenjour while the game repeatedly rigs itself against you more or less anytime you begin to win too much.

Additional rule: If you lose to a team with a promotionals player and do not have one on your team you should get a mark against you that can cause you to get demoted faster from [color] V to the next rank down.

Currently you can win 10 matches and end up in bronze 1.

In my system you keep playing until you manage to win 5 with fairly decent teammates. If you can drag entire teams down you can actually get locked out of ranked for a time. Trolls and bad players in general will now have to stop periodically which will behave similarly to the way you stop brute forcers from hacking websites by limiting the number of password attempts. This will also make it harder for trolls to work together as they will have different numbers of losses a lot of the time unless they play less to avoid having different numbers of trollgame losses.

If you win at least 5 out of 15 you should be placed in at least gold I think.

5 out of 10 is high gold

5 out of 5 is plat V and you can sink or swim from here

With this system you will be up against promotional players
